A special dispatch to the Cincinnati
Enquirer says that in south and west
Florida there are hundreds of curious
freaks of nature called "sink holes"
These sinks in the ground vary from
fifty to one thousand feet in circumfer-
ence. Some are partially filled with
water, many of fathomless depth, others
have tallest trees growing in their depths,
the tops just coming to the level of the
surrounding ground. Many of these dry
sinks suddenly fill with water, and the
bottom dives for China, as 500-feet plum
met lines fail of bottom. Oscar Sho-
creme of South Lakeweir, Fla, a few
years ago built a kitchen, bathroom, els
tern and cellar over an old sink-hole
which adioined his dwelling. He uti-
lized the old sink, for it would save much
labor and expense in making the exca-
walton land as the depression, in the ten
years he lived on the place, showed no
signs of renewing of any sinking spells,
he thought it perfectly safe. But Mon
day evening last, as the family were
getting supper, a strange sound was
heard, resembling the rolling of earth
down a hole. His eldest daughter and
an old colored woman ran out into the
kitchen and just as they crossed the
threshold, the entire rear of the build
ing plunged down with a sullen roar and
crash high above which were heard the
cries and shrieks of the unfortunate
women. Shogrene and his wife terrified
to death ran to a neighbours for help and
a rescuing party were at work within
fifteen minutes. 1t was found that the
entire bottom had dropped out, and that
the sink was half full of turbid water,
frothy and disturbed, yet the side next
to the house had gone, taking with it
tons of earth and three big pine trees.
To their establishment not sign of the
bodies nor of the boards of the house or
the trees or rubbish could be seen.
Weights were tied to 200 feet of clothes
line. but no bottom could be found. This
created CONSERVATION, and seeing their
efforts were futile, they left at once. The
house is deserted, and the terrible catas-
trophe is the talk of the neighborhood.

A Valuable Medical Treatise,

The edition for 1888 of the sterling
Medical Annual, known as Hostetters
Almanac, is now ready, and may be OBJ
tanned, free of cost, of druggists and gem
eral country dealers in all parts of the
United States, Mexico and indeed in
every civilized portion of the Western
Hemisphere. This Almanac has been
issued regularly at the commencement
of every year for over one-fiith of CEN
fury. 1t combines, with the soundest
practical advice for the preservation and
restoration of health, a large amount of
interesting and amusing light reading,
and the calendar, astronomical calcula-
tions, chronological items, &C., are pre-
pared with great care, and will be found
entirely accurate. The issue of Hostel
ter's Almanac for 1888 will probably be
the largest edition of a medical work
ever published in any country. The
proprietors, Messrs. Hostetter & Co.,
Pittsburg Pa, on receipt of a two cent
stamp, will forward copy by mail to
any person who can not procure one in
his neighborhood.
